Chapter 15

The Yin-Yang Spirit Snake is an ancient and unique species. In the ancient continent, there are countless snake species, and among them, several hundred have powerful innate abilities. The Yin-Yang Spirit Snake is known for its mysterious nature among snakes.

The male Yin-Yang Spirit Snake is called the Supreme Yang Spirit Snake, with a red body and a spot of green ink on its forehead. The female is called the Ultimate Yin Spirit Snake, with a black body and a spot of white scales on its forehead. Both possess Yin and Yang energies, can naturally control Yin and Yang qi, and prefer to feed on Yin and Yang spiritual substances. When they reach adulthood, they can traverse between Yin and Yang, possessing formidable powers, making them a rare and valuable species.

The black snake in front of him, with a black body and a spot of white scales on its forehead, was looking at the black-clothed young man with a red, gem-like gaze, filled with surprise and uncertainty. Jun Wuming remained calm, reciting the spell passed down by the white-clothed person, and forced out a drop of dark red essence blood from his fingertip, slowly sending it to the front of the small black snake, saying,

"I know you have extraordinary intelligence. The spirit contract ceremony must be mentioned in your inherited memories. If you are willing to follow me, swallow this drop of essence blood."

This spirit contract ceremony is an equal contract, where both parties help each other equally and cannot attack each other.

The small black snake's red eyes flickered with a human-like expression of thought, sizing up Jun Wuming several times. Ultimately, it could not resist the attraction of the dense Yin and Yang energies in front of it.

After a moment, it suddenly swallowed the dark red essence blood. A few breaths later, a complex black circular pattern gradually appeared on the snake's forehead.

Jun Wuming sensed it slightly, and in his mind, a shadow gradually emerged from the black water in his sea of consciousness. The black snake gently swayed its tail in the sea of consciousness, let out a joyful cry, and began to play.

As the spirit snake's soul appeared in Jun Wuming's sea of consciousness, it seemed to have a mysterious connection with the small snake in front of him, as if he could understand the snake's hisses.

Surprised, Jun Wuming saw the black snake transform into a black light and dive into the Yin River, swimming around excitedly. The snake's injured flesh and scales, damaged by sword qi, were visibly healing at an incredible speed due to the nourishment of the Yin energy.

Seeing this, Jun Wuming waved his sleeve, and a black light flashed as he put away the Yin Extreme Sword, waiting for the black spirit snake to play and absorb the Yin energy to heal its wounds.

This extremely Yin spirit snake would be a great help to him. His own Yang energy was abundant, and as his body grew, he unconsciously absorbed a thread of positive Yang energy from the purple light of the morning sun while practicing the Purple Light Nourishing Spirit Technique.

During this period, the Yang energy burned his body, causing continuous desires, which was very troublesome. He originally intended to find the Four Spirit Goddesses to balance the Yin and Yang and calm the restless Yang energy in his body. However, the matter of the Yin Spirit Vein was a one-time affair, and he could not extract a large amount of Yin energy from the Yin Spirit Vein again, nor could he target the Yin Spirit Maiden again.

Encountering this extremely Yin spirit snake was a great opportunity. This spirit snake feeds on Yin and Yang energies, which can balance the excessive Yang energy in Jun Wuming's body, with effects comparable to the Yin Spirit Maiden, thus resolving the crisis of the Yang energy burning his body.

After some time, perhaps feeling tired, the small black snake swayed its tail, and its small head emerged, blinking its gem-like red eyes, lazily hissing at Jun Wuming. Jun Wuming smiled in understanding.

"Seeing your black body and the white spot on your forehead, I will name you Bai Youyou. Your nickname will be You'er."

The black spirit snake, with its extraordinary intelligence, nodded its head lightly, transformed into a black shadow, and circled Jun Wuming several times before darting into his inner clothing, moving around as if looking for a place to nest.

Jun Wuming's calm face froze. Did this black snake want to make a home on his body? He smiled helplessly, thinking about the nesting skills of the female snake.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, he ignored the mischievous black snake and casually retracted the black Yin River surrounding his body. He was about to return to the village, but a strange idea suddenly came to mind. He stopped, patted the black snake that was wreaking havoc around his waist, and said softly,

"You'er, do you know where you were born?"

The black snake, hearing the noise, stretched out its round head, its gem-like red eyes staring at the black-clothed young man in confusion. After a moment of hesitation, it circled out and nodded its head, indicating for Jun Wuming to follow, and swam in a certain direction.

Jun Wuming did not dare to delay, cutting through the dark currents and following closely behind.

After a short while, they arrived at a quiet water area. This water area was in a river bottom filled with rocks and reefs, devoid of fish and shrimp, with black water plants spreading. Slightly stirring these black water plants, one could see the grim white bones, extremely cold and eerie.

Many white bones had already decayed into river mud, indicating that they had been there for a long time. Jun Wuming's heart stirred, almost missing this place. The Yin-Yang Spirit Snake naturally prefers Yin and Yang places, so there must be something mysterious here.

He did not dare to be careless, and the dark divine water power formed a careful black vortex around his body, slowly absorbing the cold aura emitted by the bones to prevent it from eroding his flesh.

The cold aura, through the bridge of heaven and earth, transformed into dark qi and entered his body. The divine water power responded, forming black qi, which transformed into heavy water and rushed to erode the dark qi, instantly eroding it and supplementing the black divine water power.

Thirty-four threads of power? Jun Wuming's mind stirred. The cold aura emitted by these white bones could be absorbed and strengthened by the dark sea, truly a pleasant surprise.

Following the black snake, they slowly moved forward. Gradually, Jun Wuming felt a faint pressure coming from ahead. The deeper they went, the greater the pressure he felt, as if a huge creature was pressing down on him.

As the pressure became more overwhelming, a layer of dark mist also slowly approached. However, this dark mist was absorbed and transformed by his power before it reached his body, gradually strengthening the black qi in his meridians. The closer they got, the thicker the dark mist became.

Suddenly, Jun Wuming realized that his lips had turned black, and the three-inch spiritual entity in his sea of consciousness was entangled by a thread of black, strange energy. Unconsciously, he had been poisoned.

He quickly stopped, carefully running the divine water technique. Dark black qi flowed like a river through his meridians, transforming and eroding the strange black energy.

Fortunately, although the strange black energy was hidden and stubborn, it was quite mixed and thin, and could not resist the transformation power of the divine water technique. After the black qi was refined, the strange energy entangled in his meridians was completely eradicated.

After eradicating the black energy, the divine water power became even thicker, with a hint of black luster.

Jun Wuming looked at the dark reefs surrounded by black mist, his expression solemn. This place was too dangerous. The poison gas was silent and extremely strange. Fortunately, the transformation power of the divine water technique, after its advancement, was extremely powerful, or he would have been in trouble.

After carefully sensing, the black snake seemed to be not far ahead. He focused his mind, ignoring the strange black mist around him, and rushed forward. After all, the spirit contract was an equal contract, and the black snake would not harm him before the contract was dissolved. If Jun Wuming died, the contract's backlash would severely injure the snake.

Of course, the contract was an equal agreement, and if the black snake were to be harmed, it would also be a significant problem for Jun Wuming.

If not for the extraordinary potential of the Yin-Yang Spirit Snake and its ability to balance Yin and Yang through the contract, thus enhancing his cultivation and resolving the problem of the Yang energy burning his body, Jun Wuming would never have used all means to force and deceive the Yin-Yang Spirit Snake into the spirit contract.

Rushing forward, it was not long before he could see ahead. The black spirit snake had already returned to its large form, transforming into a black snake nearly twenty meters long. Seeing Jun Wuming approach, it affectionately rubbed against him with its round head.

Jun Wuming's mouth twitched. The black snake's head was close, and a powerful force came, almost knocking him to the ground. Fortunately, his physical constitution was extraordinary, and his awakened bloodline power had just begun to show, allowing him to stabilize his feet and avoid embarrassment.

After calming the excited black spirit snake, he extended his divine consciousness and instantly sensed a black cave entrance not far ahead, from which black mist was spewing out. Before his divine consciousness could approach, Jun Wuming suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented, as if he might never wake up.

In a critical moment, he quickly withdrew his spiritual power, seeing a visible black light following his spiritual power into his sea of consciousness.

His face changed, and he was annoyed. It was the black poison gas again!

The divine water power was activated, quickly forming a water net to intercept and transform the pure strange poison gas, preventing it from spreading to his sea of consciousness. However, this time, the strange black energy was continuous, like a swamp, making it difficult to extricate oneself once trapped.

In an instant, the black-clothed young man was completely enveloped by the black poison gas, causing him great trouble.

Just as he had eradicated one part of the strange poison gas, another black flood rushed in. The black poison gas quickly rushed toward Jun Wuming's spiritual power, making the flow of power in his meridians difficult. The black poison gas formed black poison fire, wreaking havoc in his meridians.

From the outside, the black-clothed young man stood alone among the reefs, surrounded by boundless dark aura. Black qi, in a liquid state, like rushing blood, forcefully entered the black-clothed young man's body.

In a critical situation, Jun Wuming did not panic. He stabilized his mind and fully mobilized the vast ocean of power in his sea of consciousness.

His spiritual power was activated, and the Yin River of black qi around his spiritual entity transformed into a black light, projecting from his crown, freezing the surroundings and blocking the source of the poison gas. It also formed a black ribbon several meters long to protect his body.

The black spirit snake, seeing Jun Wuming form the Yin River, let out a joyful cry, shrunk in size, and swam around in the black Yin River, extremely excited.

Jun Wuming did not pay attention to the mischievous snake, mobilizing the vast ocean of power to form a black protective sea, thoroughly blocking the path of the strange black energy.

After stabilizing the poison gas, Jun Wuming smoothly mobilized the remaining divine water power to gradually eradicate the black poison fire caused by the strange energy in his meridians. Without the support of pure energy, the poison gas was eradicated by Jun Wuming in a few hours.

Slowly opening his eyes, a black, lustrous light appeared on his forehead. Jun Wuming felt extremely satisfied. This trip was truly worthwhile. Not only did he stabilize his newly advanced second stage, but he also reached the initial perfection of the second stage. The strange black energy was truly a great supplement.

Thirty-six threads of power, the strength of thirty-six mystical elephants. Jun Wuming lightly clenched his fingers, and a powerful force instantly crushed the gas in his palm.

His eyebrows raised, feeling joyful.

Slightly sensing the continuous flow of dark black qi in his meridians, the black, lustrous spiritual entity in his sea of consciousness seemed to have become more refined. Looking at the cave entrance continuously emitting strange energy, Jun Wuming smiled, the main event was still here, and what he had just experienced was just an appetizer.

"Come, Yin River, let's see how much you can absorb this time!"
