Chapter 160: Divine Silkworm Metamorphosis

Three dragon veins lie coiled, each over a thousand miles long, nourished by heaven and earth's essence over tens of thousands or even millions of years, gathering the essence of sun and moon.

The giant dragon's head meets its tail, seeming coiled yet soaring, majestic and splendid, naturally formed; within it surely lies the universe, holding supreme opportunity.

Cry!

Then, a golden immortal phoenix burst from Yang Zhu's body, circled around him for a moment, and landed on his chest, nuzzling affectionately.

Little guy, you finally woke up.

The Divine Silkworm, this little guy having slept in Yang Zhu's body for over a year since the last tribulation, unexpectedly completed its metamorphosis today.

Legend says that after nine transformations the Divine Silkworm can look down on the world with no rival, and ten transformations make it invincible through the ages, ascending to become emperor.

Now it has completed the fourth transformation, becoming a Divine Phoenix, entering the ranks of heaven's pride; the vast majority of heavenly prodigies can no longer match it.

Yee-yah!

The little guy shouted, showing great affection; it seems after the metamorphosis it hasn't forgotten Yang Zhu.

Even if you remember me now it's useless; when you meet your kin later you'll still run off with people.

Understanding its meaning, Yang Zhu couldn't help laughing and lightly flicked its head.

Cry!

Who would have thought, after hearing that the little Divine Phoenix shook its head firmly, promising this would never happen.

How can you be so sure I will certainly prove the Dao?

What Yang Zhu didn't expect was that the Divine Silkworm firmly declared he would surely prove the Dao, so no matter what happens, it has latched onto him.

After a moment's thought, Yang Zhu nodded slightly; the Divine Silkworm clan is very special, not even inferior to holy spirits, and cannot be judged by normal circumstances.

Perhaps it had long seen Yang Zhu's identity, or sensed something, causing its utter devotion.

Yee-yah...

Seeing Yang Zhu silent for a long time, the little guy immediately became anxious, mist swirling in its clear bright eyes, looking at him with a grieved expression.

All right, I didn't say not to keep you; from now on I'll still call you Little Good.

Yang Zhu gently stroked Little Good's fur; this name was originally given by Ye Fan, and it just rolls off the tongue.

Huh! It's actually a Divine Silkworm; let the Daoist master have a look.

Duan De indeed knew his stuff; at a glance he recognized Little Good's identity, curiously examining it and reaching out to try to touch it.

Cry!

Who would have thought, the Divine Silkworm instantly bristled, its eyes turning fierce; with a swish it sprayed a beam of colorful divine light, the terrifying aura making Duan De's back go cold at once.

Little Good's attack was so fast it left one gasping; fortunately Duan De had mastered the Secret of the Word 'Walk', instantly shifting sideways over a kilometer, and even so he barely escaped.

Boom! The colorful divine light, vast as a galaxy, radiated terrifying killing intent; after the earth-shaking roar, a mountain several kilometers high was instantly blown to ashes.

Damn it, Heavenly Venerable, if the Daoist master hadn't run fast he'd at least be seriously injured!

Duan De lingered in fear, fortunately wiping away cold sweat, then muttered.

It seems the legend is true: the Divine Silkworm is exceedingly proud, dislikes others approaching, and each metamorphosis equals rebirth, causing it to forget its previous life's memories.

Little Good stared fixedly at Duan De, making the unscrupulous Daoist feel creepy; after a while it raised its proud head and lay on Yang Zhu's shoulder.

Good, these three are our own; don't hurt them indiscriminately.

Yang Zhu warned, the Divine Silkworm is no ordinary life; its own power is terrifying, and ordinary people truly cannot withstand its attacks. Legend says Little Good and the Divine Silkworm Emperor are directly related, born with the clan's secret arts, so its strength is naturally not weak.

Upon hearing that, Little Good quickly glanced over the three Yaochi Saintesses, then looked at Yang Zhu and nodded obediently.

If we cultivate this guy, it'll definitely be extraordinary!

The Big Black Dog's eyes lit up as it began to scheme, grinning widely.

This place is marvelously crafted, truly extraordinary! According to the Daoist master's observation… the entrance lies in this direction.

Duan De surveyed the terrain; as expected of a generation master, he quickly locked onto a direction and led the crowd rushing over.

The Daoist master once picked up an ancient text that recorded this terrain; if the record is correct, it definitely nurtures a supreme treasure!

Along the way, Duan De employed Shen Gong, constantly observing qi reserves and probing the terrain, while explaining to the group.

Damn it, how did someone get ahead of us?

Half an hour later, several people stopped before a towering peak, seeing a huge entrance just opened at the mountainside, and they cursed angrily.

It seems the time won't be long, perhaps just these two days." The Black Emperor narrowed its eyes in observation.

Who are you? Is this place your discovery?

Soon Duan De discovered several men guarding not far away and immediately went forward to ask.

We're just guarding the outside, and the news of this place has long spread; you don't know?

One of the men in blue robes seemed to be the group's leader; seeing Yang Zhu and company's extraordinary bearing, he dared not slight them and responded politely.

Especially when his gaze fell on Yang Zhu, he was deeply shocked by his appearance and temperament, inexplicably feeling a sense of awe.

Young friend, we've just arrived here and don't really understand anything; could you tell us?" Duan De said with a beaming smile.

Although he wore splendid Daoist robes, his bulky frame always gave off a sneaky feeling, making him seem not a good person…

The blue-robed man had also never encountered such a Daoist, frowned slightly, but did not hide anything and explained to them.

Half a month ago, immortal light suddenly appeared here, immediately drawing experts from all quarters; later even the four great dynasties sent people…

According to him, half a month ago this place displayed a divine phenomenon; experts who came to inspect were shocked by the terrain and concluded an ancient relic must be emerging. The news spread quickly, stirring many major forces, and even the four great dynasties dispatched supreme experts to come.

Half a day later, people discovered a grand stone gate; after opening it together they found a separate cave heaven, and then rushed in in a swarm.

Who would have thought the inside was extremely dangerous; in less than half an hour over a hundred people perished, and their cultivation levels were not low.

Thanks for the information, young friend.

After the inquiry, Duan De came to Yang Zhu's side, seemingly interested: "The four great dynasties have all come; this is definitely not simple!"

This emperor thinks so too." The Big Black Dog twitched its nose; wherever there are treasures, it absolutely won't let them pass.

What do you think?" the Yaochi Saintess looked at Yang Zhu and asked.

"I seem to see a spiritual spring..."

Yang Zhu's eyes are deep, with a Dao trace evolving, as if penetrating the void, faintly seeing a pool of spring water at the deepest point.

But in the blink of an eye, a misty fog comes and obscures everything, making it hard to see any detail.
