136: Chapter 136 The Yellow Springs Stele

When Xiao Yan and Yao Ming appeared on the water's surface, a figure lay before Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian like a dead dog, while behind them stood a group of trembling Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python Clan Elders.

"Is this the current Clan Chief of the Nine Serenity Deep Ground Python Clan?"

Xiao Yan walked up to the fallen man and spoke indifferently.

Xiao Yan knew that when he rescued Yao Ming, the Seal connecting the iron chains to the Yellow Springs Yin Stone had been broken, which was sensed by Yao Xiaotian.

"Yao Xiaotian! You finally have your day!" Yao Ming walked up to Yao Xiaotian and grabbed his head, his eyes incomparably ruthless.

"You..." Yao Xiaotian's pupils dilated as he struggled to make a sound.

"Clan Chief Yao Ming?"

When Yao Ming appeared, the Elders looked at his face, which bore some resemblance to Yao Xiaotian's, and were momentarily stunned. After a while, some Elders shrieked in disbelief, "Didn't you die from Qi Deviation hundreds of years ago?"

"Of course not. Back then, I was poisoned and injured by my 'good brother' and the Grand Elder. I was sealed at the bottom of the Nine Serene Yellow Springs. If I hadn't been rescued this time, I'm afraid I would have stayed in those Nine Serene Yellow Springs for the rest of my life!" Yao Ming said as he looked at the Elders.

Hearing this, a gray-robed old man in the crowd had a flickering expression. As more and more people looked at him, he finally couldn't help but shout, "Don't be fooled by this man! These people trespassed into our clan's Sacred Pond and disguised themselves as Yao Ming. There must be a conspiracy!"

"Hahaha, still trying to argue at this point? Grand Elder, your shamelessness is truly admirable!" Yao Ming laughed towards the sky, then turned his gaze to several Elders in the crowd and said, "Elder Xian, Elder Ming, Elder Liu, you were my closest associates back then. Could it be that even you don't recognize me?"

Hearing Yao Ming's words, the three white-haired Elders scanned Yao Ming. Their faces immediately showed some excitement as they said, "It really does seem to be Clan Chief Yao Ming. The three of us are quite familiar with this Aura."

Seeing the three of them say this, the gray-robed old man's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to retort, he was suppressed by a powerful Aura, causing his face to turn extremely ugly as he found himself unable to utter a single word.

The crowd looked at the grim-faced Grand Elder and could vaguely sense the powerful pressure being exerted upon him. Thus, they cautiously glanced at the young man beside Yao Ming and ceased their whispering.

When they had arrived at the Nine Serene Yellow Springs, their vision had gone dark. Then, they saw Yao Xiaotian lying on the ground, and beside him was a young man covered in blue flames. When the blue-flamed man's gaze fell upon them, an inexplicable sense of oppression forced them to stay in place, unable even to speak.

After two figures emerged from the Nine Serene Yellow Springs, the young man covered in blue flames disappeared from their sight...

And the one beside Yao Ming looked exactly like that disappeared young man!

Xiao Yan looked at the group, not intending to waste any more words. His Soul Power pressed toward the gray-robed Grand Elder, crushing his Divine Soul with overwhelming force and killing him.

"Yao Ming, Yao Xiaotian is yours to deal with. As for what you said before, does it still hold true?" Xiao Yan asked Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's spirits lifted upon hearing this. He respectfully said to Xiao Yan, "I do not yet know your honorable title, but what I said before naturally holds true. From now on, the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan will be at your beck and call!"

Xiao Yan looked at the tactful Yao Ming and nodded with a smile. Most of the Yellow Springs Blood Essence in the Nine Serene Yellow Springs had been absorbed by him. Even so, Yao Ming's Realm had risen to the level of a Two-Star Dou Sheng within the Nine Serene Yellow Springs; his talent was truly terrifying.

Hundreds of years ago, Yao Ming was only an Intermediate Ban Sheng when he was sealed. Yet, after being sealed for centuries, he could still advance to a Two-Star Dou Sheng. In comparison, Yao Xiaotian and the Grand Elder had truly wasted their lives.

"My name is Xiao Yan. Also, prepare yourselves during this time; I will send the Void Ancient Dragon Clan to take charge of you," Xiao Yan said, looking at the respectful Yao Ming.

The Elders' expressions shifted upon hearing this, but after a brief consideration, they remained silent, clearly accepting the outcome.

The Void Ancient Dragons hadn't appeared for many years. Could they have been subdued by this man? They were the Supremes among Demonic Beasts!

Seeing that no one objected, Xiao Yan nodded and ordered, "Seal off the Nine Serene Yellow Springs from the outside; no one is allowed to approach. Also, do you know where the Legacy left by the Yellow Spring Demon Saint is? Take me there."

"The Yellow Springs Stone Tablet? Lord Xiao Yan, I will take you there," Yao Ming hurriedly replied.

Seeing Xiao Yan nod, Yao Ming looked delighted. After giving a few instructions to the Elders, he led Xiao Yan toward the Yellow Springs Stone Tablet.

Passing by Yao Xiaotian's body, Yao Ming's eyes turned cold. He reached out a claw, instantly shattering Yao Xiaotian's skull and extracting a black bead. This black bead was none other than Yao Xiaotian's Monster Core!

Xiao Yan glanced at it but said nothing.

"Medusa, you can try this place out first. I'll come find you two later..." Xiao Yan said to the two women.

He then left with Yao Ming, heading toward the Yellow Springs Stone Tablet.

The Yellow Springs Stone Tablet was located atop a magnificent altar built entirely of massive bluestones. In the center stood a pale yellow stone tablet about a hundred feet tall.

Upon arrival, Yao Ming first bowed solemnly before the stone tablet.

"Lord Xiao Yan, this is where the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's Legacy lies. It contains the Advanced Heaven Rank Dou Technique, Huangquan Heavenly Fury, as well as the Demon Saint's Essence Blood..."

Xiao Yan gazed at the massive stone tablet. It was inscribed with many strange runes flickering with light. There was also a protruding giant finger and a palm print half a foot deep, which continuously emitted strange information. These were likely the cultivation methods for the Yellow Spring Finger and the Yellow Spring Palm.

A human figure identical to Xiao Yan separated from his body and stood before the stone tablet.

Looking at this materialized Soul, Yao Ming was inwardly astonished. Souls were too ethereal; nowadays, Dou Qi dominated the continent, and few experts focused on Soul Cultivation. Even if some experts could Cultivate a powerful Soul, without special methods, it still wouldn't have an overwhelming effect.

Thus, most experts would not waste time and energy pursuing such disproportionate strength. To form a completely materialized body identical to a human like Xiao Yan's was simply incredible; it was the first time Yao Ming had ever seen it.

How terrifying! Not only has his Dou Qi strength reached such a frightening Realm, but even his Soul, which is difficult for ordinary people to improve, possesses such incredible power. Looking at Xiao Yan's back, Yao Ming couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.

"Swoosh!"

The Soul body stepped toward the stone tablet. Ripples like liquid appeared on the surface of the ancient stone tablet as Xiao Yan entered it.
