Chapter 1: Transformed into a Python
Even the gourd vine is not inferior to the superior innate spiritual treasures; after all, it is something that could be used by the goddess Nüwa to create humans, so it cannot be considered an ordinary item
However, regardless of the arrangement, the gourd vine is always prominently featured, and it consistently holds the top position
Xu Siyuan made up his mind: "If the gourd ripens and those great powers do not discover it, I will pick it and run away. If they do discover it, then I will offer the gourd to them."
The Sky-Devouring Python has no clear concept of time, and Xu Siyuan is also uncertain whether it is currently the world of dragons and phoenixes, or the era of conflict between the witch and demon clans, or even if the deification process has already begun
Is it possible that the heavens are still envious of my unparalleled beauty
This is also quite astonishing, as the bitter bamboo can only refine one piece of high-grade innate spiritual treasure, while the gourd vine is at least equivalent to four bitter bamboos
Since I have come to the primordial world, I must make a name for myself, but first and foremost, I need to survive
The useful memories in the mind of this devouring python are indeed pitifully few, after all, it has never ventured outside, and often a single sleep can span thousands or even tens of thousands of years
The years of hard practice in ambidextrous combat have become useless
I have held hands with girls, and not just one!" Xu Siyuan said proudly
However, these three gourds have not yet ripened
Xu Siyuan has been single for twenty-five years, and finally found a girlfriend, seemingly on the verge of escaping the fate of battling with himself!
It is known that the Zunti Daoist used the Primordial Spiritual Root, the Bitter Bamboo, to refine a high-quality Primordial Spiritual Treasure, the Six Roots of Purity Bamboo. However, whether it is Hongyun's Nine-Nine Scatter Soul Gourd, Donghuang Taiyi's Immortal Slaying Gourd, or Laozi's Purple Gold Red Gourd, none of them are inferior in quality to the Six Roots of Purity Bamboo
After all, having guarded this place for countless years, it is not unreasonable to ask for some remuneration
If it were not for my time travel, this Devouring Sky Python might have perished during its tribulation, perhaps.
However, the gourd vine guarded by the swallowing sky python has indeed caught Xu Siyuan's attention. As a single man who often stays at home, Xu Siyuan has read quite a few novels set in the primordial era.
The Titanoboa is much more domineering than the Python, yet legends of the Python persist in later generations while there are no tales of the Titanoboa. It seems that the Titanoboa did not fare well in its time
Xu Siyuan harbored a faint yet terrifying suspicion in his heart, though he was unwilling to acknowledge it
At this time, the three gourds had grown more than 2 inches, and the three gourds shone brilliantly, exhibiting extraordinary wonders
But, one minute has passed, one hour has passed, one day has passed...
Xu Siyuan closed his eyes, hoping that when he opened them again, he would see the familiar skyscrapers and the bustling traffic.
Xu Siyuan had even planned their son's name, which kindergarten he would attend in the future, and which university he would eventually enroll in, but as a result, he had only held hands a few times before everything changed.
Even without Xu Siyuan's time travel, the result would certainly be that the Sky-Devouring Python was killed by various deities.
As for the mission of guarding the gourd vine, what is a mission compared to the importance of one's life!
He cannot go back
Oh, the distress! Who said that mastering mathematics, physics, and chemistry would make one fearless in traversing the world? If I had the chance to return to Earth and the realm of books, I would certainly tell them.
However, Xu Siyuan at least confirmed one thing: this is the Honghuang world
To be precise, he became a giant python, a giant python that is over one hundred zhang long
The most famous gourd vine in the primordial chaos is the one known as the innate gourd vine
The challenge lies in how to present the gourd in a manner that is both polite and not servile, and how to flatter without being clichéd while still making the other party feel delighted
Could it be that I have arrived in the primeval forest, yet even in the primeval forests of Earth, such large trees cannot be found
It has not even seen a female python yet
The Sky-Devouring Python has not stepped out of the valley for countless millennia. Whenever the Sky-Devouring Python wishes to venture out and take a look, an unseen voice informs it that its mission is to guard this gourd vine.
Xu Siyuan involuntarily opened his eyes, but this mere act of opening his eyes startled him awake from his drunken state
Xu Siyuan opened his mouth wide, unleashing the innate divine ability of the Sky-Devouring Python, and in just a moment, the Hundred-Mile Spirit Pool was reduced by one-tenth.
He is no longer human
Compared to it, Xu Siyuan is much luckier
Although the gourd is not yet ripe, this pool of transformative essence is indeed a valuable thing
Xu Siyuan is truly at a loss for tears
The four gourd flowers on the gourd vine withered instantly, as this innate gourd vine was actually going to supply all its spiritual energy to those three small gourds
There is no way out; since we are here, we might as well make ourselves comfortable. Xu Siyuan began to read the remnants of the consciousness of this giant python
Xu Siyuan could only wait here, and he did not dare to recklessly venture out. This valley had inherent restrictions, making it quite safe. However, once he stepped outside, it would be a different story; Xu Siyuan's cultivation as a Golden Immortal was completely insufficient.
This giant python is called the Sky-Devouring Python, possessing a devouring ability even more domineering than that of the anaconda
I can no longer drink so much alcohol in the future
The morning sunlight shone brightly on Xu Siyuan's face, and the groggy Xu Siyuan awoke from his slumber
However, since the latter few gourds do not have the same reputation as the earlier ones, let us assume that only four pieces of high-quality innate spiritual treasures have grown on the innate gourd vine
Moreover, it is possible that one might establish a good relationship at that time; it would be even better if one could find a strong supporter to rely on.
Xu Siyuan approached the gourd vine, which was just over one zhang long, with three gourds the size of a thumb hanging from it, and four gourd flowers blooming.
Upon seeing the colors of these three gourds, Xu Siyuan immediately recognized that this was the innate gourd vine
Moreover, I have been transformed into a python!
Poor Titanoboa
After Xu Siyuan opened his eyes, he still saw this silent valley
It is just that the timing of the crossing is not right
At this moment, Xu Siyuan made an even more astonishing discovery
In fact, it is highly likely that there are eight pieces of superior innate spiritual treasures, which are eight苦竹.
With his eyes barely open, Xu Siyuan mumbled to himself as he reached for his phone beside him, only to find nothing but emptiness instead
However, it seems that Xu Siyuan has a particularly severe headache, likely due to drinking too much alcohol last night
Xu Siyuan looked at the remaining three gourds: "Am I about to change history?"
The scales of this giant python shimmer with a metallic luster, displaying majesty and dominance under the sunlight
Is it possible that even the heavens are a single dog, jealous of my having found a girlfriend? Among so many who have girlfriends, why am I the only one being punished?
Never mind, let's seize the benefits first and talk later
What lies before the eyes is nothing but those enormous and astonishing giant trees
Xu Siyuan certainly knows that this miraculous liquid is the key to the growth of the gourd vine, but it is better to have one bird in hand than ten in the forest. In the future, those who will be able to pick the gourds will be the top experts of the primordial era. Xu Siyuan does not dare to say that he will definitely obtain a gourd; it is better to first take some of the miraculous liquid.
Beside this gourd vine, there is also a pool of transformative spiritual liquid
Countless years have passed, and the Sky-Devouring Python has reached the Golden Immortal stage, but during the tribulation, it was struck by heavenly lightning, which damaged its head, leading to Xu Siyuan seizing its nest.
The Creation Liquid is formed from the convergence and evolution of chaotic spiritual energy, and even in the midst of chaos, it is exceedingly rare; yet here there is actually a large pool of it
It is a pity that these gourds have not yet ripened; otherwise, even if just one Xu Siyuan had ripened, he would have planned to pick it and run away.
Mastering the art of gift-giving and flattery is truly a transcendent skill
The innate spiritual object must be guarded by a unique beast. It is uncertain whether the Devouring Sky Python is guarding the innate gourd vine, but the Devouring Sky Python possesses the cultivation of a Golden Immortal. Even if this gourd is not the innate gourd vine, it is undoubtedly an extraordinary innate spiritual object.
Ultimately, half of the pool of transformative spiritual liquid was stored by Xu Siyuan using his innate divine abilities, while the other half was absorbed by the innate gourd vine
As the spiritual liquid became increasingly scarce, the innate gourd vine, seemingly endowed with spiritual awareness, extended countless roots, inserting them into the spiritual pool to begin competing with Xu Siyuan for the spiritual liquid.
The other four gourds are also extraordinary, whether it is the demon-summoning gourd obtained by the goddess Nüwa, the water and fire gourd of the Master Tongtian, or the chaos gourd of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, all are precious treasures, and they may even rival the Six Roots of Purity Bamboo.
There were once individuals who ranked the Ten Innate Spiritual Roots of the Primordial Era, and others who ranked the Six Great Innate Spiritual Roots of the Primordial Era
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. Xu Siyuan prayed sincerely, "Oh heavens, if you are truly jealous of my handsome appearance, then all you need to do is let me go back, and I am willing to become ugly!"
Xu Siyuan instinctively wanted to rub his eyes, hoping to see if he had made a mistake in what he was seeing
Moreover, the territory of several thousand square miles in this valley belongs to this giant python, and Xu Siyuan can be considered to have truly become the king of the mountains.
The three gourds are one in purple-gold, one in purplish-red, and one in purplish-white
Xu Siyuan felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart: It seems that heaven is not so harsh on him after all
Xu Siyuan suddenly thought of another possibility: the Sky-Devouring Python is the guardian spirit beast of the innate gourd vine. If someone comes to pick the gourd, they naturally have to engage in a confrontation with the guardian. However, looking at who has come to pick the gourd: Taiyi, Hongyun, Laozi...
Ultimately, Xu Siyuan had no choice but to accept this fact
The smallest tree would require at least twenty to thirty people to embrace it, while as for the largest tree, my goodness, if it weren't for the leaves on top, Xu Siyuan would definitely think it was a mountain, a towering mountain that spans several dozen miles.
