"Turns out, we arrived just in time to help you cover up. During that period, the Fierce Beasts in the mountains were mostly severely injured. When they see humans, for safety reasons, they'll surely retreat to heal."

"By the time they have healed, your injuries will be mostly recovered too. All the Fierce Beasts that compete for the title of Beast King possess Spiritual Wisdom. Once they regain clarity, they will understand this principle and won't attack you again!"

"However, the sudden appearance of the White Ape King and the Spider Queen was something you didn't expect. You could only pretend that you weren't injured, or at least not heavily injured, and show warmth towards us, just to make the Spider Queen understand that your injuries aren't severe!"

"Exactly, you're absolutely right!"

"Cough, cough."

A stream of black blood trickled down from the corner of the Heavenly Snake's mouth, dropping to the ground with a piercing corrosive sound.

"Indeed, everything was planned perfectly, but who could have foreseen an accident would still happen?"

The Heavenly Snake's pupils slightly dimmed as it said, "If I had been given a little more time, I could have broken through to the Great Saint level, and by then even the Ghost Fighting Tribe wouldn't dare to easily attack me!"

"It's a pity, now it's too late to say anything!"

The speaker was casual, but the listener was attentive; Chen Jiuge didn't expect the Heavenly Snake's strength to be so terrifying, just one step away from the Great Saint Realm.

The earlier King Level and Heavenly King Level were just small realms within the Daluo Realm, while the Great Saint Realm was what Jialouluo and others were arduously seeking, going further beyond!

"If I could heal your injuries, what would you be willing to pay?"

"Hahaha, are you joking? Do you know what kind of poison I have? Heal my injuries?"

After laughing, the Heavenly Snake noticed that Chen Jiuge's expression remained unchanged, with a glimmer of determination in his eyes.

"Are you serious?"

"Certainly!"

Chen Jiuge was not joking. With his own abilities, healing the Heavenly Snake's injuries was naturally impossible, but the Chaos Pearl could do it. The Chaos Pearl's treasure trove contains most of the treasures collected by previous hosts. Limited by cultivation, Chen Jiuge can't access it yet, but Chaos can!

It's just letting Chaos suffer a bit, but all of this is worth it!

"Haha, although I don't know where your confidence comes from, if you truly heal me, I can swear a Heavenly Dao Oath. I, the Heavenly Snake, will do my utmost to protect you and your tribe. If it exceeds my abilities, I won't send myself to die!"

"Good, that's enough!"

Opening his palm, a pure white lotus bloomed in Chen Jiuge's palm; this is the Heavenly Dome Divine Lotus!

Bringing the dead back to life, healing flesh wounds, such feats are just trivial effects for the Heavenly Dome Divine Lotus. This Supreme Treasure nurtured by the great principles possesses incredible miracles, merely healing the Heavenly Snake's injuries is quite simple!

Although the Heavenly Snake didn't recognize this object, instinctively, it knew this was of great benefit to itself; not just for healing injuries but could also further improve its cultivation!

"You can actually heal me!"

The Heavenly Snake's eyes were filled with disbelief, then solemnly swore a Heavenly Dao Oath, eagerly saying, "How about it, give it to me now!"

"Of course!"

Chen Jiuge let out a sigh of relief and handed the Heavenly Dome Divine Lotus to the Heavenly Snake.

While the Heavenly Snake was assimilating the Heavenly Dome Divine Lotus, Chen Jiuge reminded himself secretly, "That was too risky, better not do this again in the future. Must be cautious!"

With pale golden eyes again opening, Chen Jiuge noticed that the separation feeling in the Heavenly Snake's pupils had completely disappeared.

"What is this exactly? Not only has it healed my injuries but also enhanced some of my cultivation!" the Heavenly Snake asked incredulously.

"Heavenly Dome Divine Lotus!"

"But if you think you can rely on the Heavenly Dome Divine Lotus to break through in cultivation, then forget it. I only have one of this treasure myself. If it weren't for certain reasons, I'd never take it out!"

Though seeing the single Heavenly Dome Divine Lotus used up by the Heavenly Snake made Chen Jiuge feel some heartache, he knew this was necessary for solidifying his foundation. Just with this single Heavenly Dome Divine Lotus, he could have long broken through to Daluo.

"Indeed, treasures like this are truly rare," the Heavenly Snake sighed. Who knew whether it really believed it or not.

"As promised before, I will try my best within my capabilities to safeguard your safety and the Star Moon Tribe."

"Alright, there's not much you need to do for now."

"But, with so many snakes appearing outside the cave, are you planning to cultivate a clan?" Chen Jiuge asked with some curiosity. The Spider Queen had mentioned that not every Fierce Beast can cultivate a clan; cultivation is one point, and capability requirements are also there. At least the Heavenly Snake's abilities aren't very suitable.

"Previously, my injuries were too severe, although it prevented me from reaching a peak cultivation state, it indirectly lowered the energy within my blood, allowing some gifted young snakes to absorb a part."

"But that might not be possible now."

The Heavenly Snake shook its head regretfully. Honestly, having a clan would be quite nice; clan loyalty is nearly absolute, capable of handling many miscellaneous affairs.

"That may not necessarily be the case!"

Chen Jiuge showed a hint of contemplation and slowly said, "Since they could endure your blood when you were injured, then perhaps it's not that you can't create a clan, but their willingness to withstand your blood energy is too high and they can't bear it!"

"Maybe just enhancing the digestion and bodily endurance of those young snakes could solve the issue!"

"Or perhaps find larger snakes with higher cultivation, that might work too!"

The Heavenly Snake shook its head, saying, "Fierce Beasts wanting to develop a clan has a crucial prerequisite: the developed subjects shouldn't be too powerful, nor should they possess their own consciousness!"

"So, to develop a clan, one can only choose the same species of newly born Fierce Beasts, and even offspring of Fierce Beasts with Spiritual Wisdom can't be transformed; the Spider Queen's abilities are special, can't be considered normal cases!"

"I see, but that might not be certain!"

Chen Jiuge's mouth slightly curled up as he had already consulted with the Chaos Pearl during his inquiries and got the answer: it's possible!

The previous host of the Chaos Pearl, Ying City, perished in the Heavenly Gift Realm. But before dying, the exploration of this realm shouldn't be underestimated; the Chaos Pearl contains corresponding records.

"You have a way?" The Heavenly Snake got increasingly puzzled about Chen Jiuge. Clearly a human who could be easily squashed with one slap, yet able to solve matters even the Heavenly Snake couldn't resist!

The most vital point is, this human isn't even from the Heavenly Gift Realm's native Human Clan!

"No guarantees, but we could try; however, it requires some of your blood!"

"That's not a problem!"

Heavenly Snake generously opened its mouth and sprayed outwards. Chen Jiuge's view turned instantly red, as a huge volume of blood gathered in the air, eventually forming a blood sphere over one meter in diameter!

"Is this amount enough?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

This quantity of blood seemed exaggerated, yet compared to the Heavenly Snake's massive physique, it was nothing much. After all, this was just ordinary blood, not Essence Blood!

"It'll do; let's give it a try."

After instructing the shadow behind him, a Shadow Demon emerged from the shadow, politely saluting before quickly running outside the cave, soon returning with a dozen or so newly-born small snakes.

Watching this, the Heavenly Snake noticed that after the Shadow Demon sunk into the shadow, he completely lost all perception of its presence, and couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "What is that creature, I can't sense it at all?"

"It's a Shadow Demon, responsible for the Star Moon Tribe's intelligence."

"Apparently, my understanding of you is still too shallow. I now highly anticipate your upcoming actions!"

"Well, then just watch!"

This endeavor to cultivate Fierce Beasts is primarily for cultivating a clan for the Heavenly Snake. Even if successful, these clan members will hold a sense of closeness towards me, with the true master being the Heavenly Snake!

So the cultivating method differs a bit, focusing primarily on the Heavenly Snake's blood as the material.

"Drip, drip."

After three drops of blood fell, Chen Jiuge realized that the small snakes he held could not withstand anymore.

"Only able to endure three drops of blood; this is incredibly unbelievable!"

Considering this was merely ordinary blood from the Heavenly Snake, using Essence Blood would have been even more dramatic!

Beside him, the Heavenly Snake felt even greater astonishment. To have absorbed three drops of its blood was beyond belief; at the peak of its injury, those small snakes could at best absorb just one drop!

"This is the extent we can manage!"

Watching the newborn snakes rub against his palm and then crawl before the Heavenly Snake, Chen Jiuge showed some disappointment in his eyes.
